Monica Youn

Monica Youn’s first book of poems, Barter, was published by Graywolf in 2003. She’s been awarded a Stegner Fellowship in Poetry at Stanford University, among other honors. She currently lives in Manhattan where she is an entertainment lawyer. Writing in The Constant Critic, Ray McDaniel says Youn’s poems make “a cocktail of politesse and shame, brewing it from her own peculiar napalm.”
